 | Indonesia launches a tsunami early warning system. ANCHOR: Indonesia plans to complete the installation of more than 22 special buoys with sea-floor pressure sensors by next year, but so far international funding has been slow coming in. STORY: These are the latest of the buoys which will form Indonesia's planned tsunami early warning system. The buoys, or darts, are fitted with sea-floor pressure sensors, and are intended to form part of a chain of more than 20 such devices. Officials say they hope to install the system quickly. [Ridwan Djamaluddin, Centre for Marine Surveys]: "We aim to install 17 or 18 units by the end of this year." Thousands of people lost their lives in 2004 when a tsunami up to 10 meters high was triggered by a huge undersea earthquake off Indonesia's coast. Despite the scale of the disaster, putting a warning system in place is hitting some rocks on the way. Experts say the full chain of buoys must be in place, as well as tide readers and seismographs, to deliver tsunami alerts within five minutes of an undersea quake. The country's plans to protect the world's largest archipelago of over 17, 000 islands has some international support but crucial foreign cash to fund it is slow to come. |
 | Developing Time Travel Part 1 Coast To Coast AM Wednesday August 8th, 2007 Developing Time Travel Professor of Physics at the Univ. of Conn., Dr. Ron Mallett shared his research into time travel. His interest in developing a time machine was brought about by the early death of his father and his desire to go back into the past and see him. Mallett's concept for a time machine (see graphic below) centers around the idea that a circulating beam of light can cause a twisting of space and time, looping the past and future together. Travel into the past could only occur during the time frame that the machine had been turned on, as those are the moments that are "preserved," he explained. For instance, if the machine was created in January 2008 and left on for a year, any month in 2008 could be visited in 2009. However, to go back further into time, he suggested that humans might eventually have access to ET's time machines which may have existed for thousands of years. Time machines could have practical uses as early warning devices, giving notice about catastrophes. While the cost to create one could run into the billions of dollars, Mallett said his first stage of experimentation would run about $250,000. Once the basic principles can be established, it will take about five years to demonstrate the twisting of light with subatomic particles, and another five years for the twisting of space. He predicted that we could have human time travel by the end of this century. More Info & Links: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2007/08/08.html Coast To Coast AM: http://www.coasttocoastam.com |

 | ThunderCats -2x52- Frogman Pt.1 Wily Kit and Kat are constructing a well for the New Cat's Lair on New Thundera. The Thundercats on New Thundera receive a distress signal from Thunderian refugees trying to find their way to New Thundera. The Kittens are left alone with Snarf on at the New Cat's Lair, and Lion-O and Snarfer are out constructing an early warning device (I guess for weather purposes). The rest of the Thundercats seek out the refugees in space. When Wily Kit and Kat strike water, they accidentally unleash a monster that Jaga trapped in the underground lake centuries ago. Frogman, with aquatic powers, tries to sink the New Cats Lair. Lion-O however re-traps Frogman in his watery prison. ThunderCats (1986) |

 | THE WHYNOT? FORUM 1.0 MON ISBERTO PART 1 The WhyNot? Forum Mon Isberto, Smart Communications This talk by event sponsor Smart Communications shows how the "Why not" attitude can be used to develop simple and ingenious solutions to everyday challenges and threats. Delivered by Public Affairs Head Ramon Isberto, it talks about how Smart has been helping communities in typhoon-battered areas prepare for storms and their aftermath through the use of batingaw (early warning devices fashioned out of recycled acetylene tanks). Citing that the Philippines has the highest number of Category 5 typhoons in the world, Mon underscores the importance of disaster-preparedness in local communities. |

 | Just a Ramble 09/11/07 I just ramble about what I want to do on youTube and what I get from making vids. And no wine was consumed in the making of this vid. I appear to be weaving a lot at one point. I was trying to pet Dexter to keep him from moving around. The metal tags on his collar make way too much noise when he is active. But it does work well as an early warning device. Harvey always knows when Dexter is around. |
 | Central Florida Tornado Outbreak - February 2, 2007 Synopsis: A deadly tornado event occurred across the NWS Melbourne County Warning Area within Lake and Volusia Counties during the early morning hours of February 2, 2007. A discontinuous swath of damage was observed from the town of Lady Lake (Lake County) to New Smyrna Beach (Volusia County) - a distance of over 70 miles. A total of 21 fatalities occurred within Lake County. Synoptic & Mesoscale Situation: East Central Florida was located in the warm sector ahead of an advancing cold front. Large scale lift was supported by a very strong jet aloft, with strong vertical shear evident from the surface to aloft, conducive for rotating thunderstorms and tornadoes. Instability increased overnight with temperatures and dew points increasing through the pre-dawn hours. A moderate threat of tornadoes was indicated within the Hazardous Weather Outlook. A long-tracked supercell thunderstorm traveled from Sumter County to the coastal waters of Volusia County during the early morning hours of February 2, 2007. Three tornadoes touched down along this track. Damage Surveys: The first tornado began near Wildwood in Sumter County at 308 am and crossed into Lake County, lifting east of Lady Lake at 325 am. NWS Melbourne issued a Tornado Warning for Lake County at 306 AM. Post storm surveys indicated the tornado reached a peak intensity of EF-3 (155-160 mph) and had a track length of 16.5 miles. Eight fatalities were associated with the tornado. The second tornado touched down in rural Lake County at 337 am and impacted the Lake Mack area at 348 am before crossing into Volusia County and affecting Deland at 402 am, then lifted east of Interstate 4 at 410 am. NWS Melbourne issued a Tornado Warning for Volusia County at 352 AM. Post storm surveys indicated the tornado reached a peak intensity of EF-3 (160-165 mph) and had a track length of 26 miles. Thirteen fatalities occurred in association with this tornado. The third tornado formed in eastern Volusia County to the east of Interstate 95 at 422 am and remained on the ground until 425 am when it reached the intracoastal waterway in New Smyrna Beach. Post storm surveys indicated the tornado reached a peak intensity of EF-1 (100-105 mph) and had a track length of 3 miles. Tornado scenarios such as this are classified as very dangerous, especially due to the threat of tornado occurrence during overnight hours when most individuals are asleep. A NOAA Weather Radio containing an alarm feature can be a life-saving device in these situations. Most tornado deaths in Florida occur in the early morning hours. |
